Only Crew supporters would be dumb enough to fight West Ham supporters....the Englsih are years ahead in that department. 30 WH vs 100 Crew hardly seems fair for the Crew.

LOL The crew... The fucking crew LOL is there an team that is more of a MLS Joke? seriously LOL. I dont care if their higher than us in the table they are still a joke and their supporters are mere jesters.
M.U.F.C.U.M GAMBA OSAKA Toronto FC
Columbus supporters have really gone over the top this year after suffering the humilition of being owned in their own stadium at the opener.
Fuck them!!
You all realise that this is TFC's fault...if we didn't act the way we act at TFC games then this fight would never have come to be.
To hell with Columbus. Their club and "supporters" are a pathetic joke. I hope they got their asses handed to them.
Was their coach and players looking at the fight in disgust? or does that only happen to us?

I wonder what the chants were that set-off the festivities.
Animals Eaten:
pig, cow, lamb, moose, chicken, quail, kudu, ostrich, kangaroo, octopus, alligator, rabbit, shark, springbok, goat, bison, boar, caterpillars, turkey, fish, lobster, crab, oyster, prawn, antelope, camel, eel, squid
Most of the blog posts that I've read by people who were there are saying that most of the West Ham supporters who started the trouble were Americans, not English.
They're only making it worse for them.
1. Their FO is going to fuk them up again.
2. They'll scare away the fans that the club is oriented at, families.
This is so lame.
It wouldn't take much...it's a bunch of drunk working class Englishmen who have fought plenty of times before along with a bunch of American WH supporters who think that they're auditioning for Green Street Hooligans Part II in front of the real ICF. Saying "Hello" probably would have set them off, but chanting anything towards them would obviously kicked things off - the Crew are stupid for not realizing that.
What's unbelieveable is that the stadium security let 30 WH supporters walk into the Crew supporter's zone....how could they let that happen?
One of the articles said that they hoped security in Toronto for the all star game would be beefed up. I don't think they have to worry about that. Half of us are going to be supporting the hammers anyway.
A recap from HardhatMike from the Crew forum on BS..........
This was all these select guys' fault in the parking lot. They were drunk and went out the same gate as the WHU fans (mistake #1) and decided to run their mouths despite being outnumbered (mistake #2). They got exactly what they went looking for and it seems they got jumped by some WHU guys. After than we broken up, they were pissed off and thier buddies, yelling "where was hudson street?" Meanwhile, the more reasonable members of HSH were walking back to Rubys like they always do when they heard these idiots yelling their name. They went over to see what the situation was and one of the loud idiots decided to start a fight with Blake (hsh_b). The cops break up the fight and Blake starts to run away. The cops then fire a taser at Blake (hence my avatar and blurb), hitting his cinch sack on his back. Blake then runs away from the cops (who call in the chopper and everything) and is now in hiding at an "undisclosed location." Meanwhile, the idiot in the green shirt who instigated everything continues to jaw at the WHU fans in the parking lot and despite most of the Union guys pointing him out to the cops, nothing happens to him. He then tries to start stuff with Clem and Myself before walking away, still yapping like a little dog.
As for the altercation in the Nordecke at halftime. This is completely on CSC, as they were too busy throwing Crew fans out of the game to notice a group of 15-20 loud drunk guys in Claret and Blue walking right down the aisle between 141 and 142. The leader, a large tattooed fellow who had obviously drank too much, starts in on a couple of Crew fans about 10 rows down from the top of the section. That's right, sports fans, 10 ROWS. That's how far they got into the section they got before I saw 1 CSC person headed in that direction. Meanwhile, there are families with kids in the area, and upon seeing that, the surge of yellow and black to form a bit of a wall between these goons and the rest of the Crew fans began. The big inked fellow then throws his beer on a couple of us and the fray begins. It then spread to the top of the concourse, but I couldn't see much after it spilled out up there. Some may frown upon my next comment, but I can do nothing but applaud the members of the Nordecke that got involved in the stands and were defending each other, as again CSC was nowhere to be seen. As for what happened after, I can't comment.

Travel Advisory:
Toronto FC supporters traveling to Columbus, OH should be on the look for trigger happy cops. They are armed and dangerous. They will fire smoke bombs and tasers without warning. Also refrain from public urination at church grounds.
For some reason, I can't cut and paste the article that I'm reading, but it bascially says the same thing as what Bluenose posted above...in short:
Some Crew fans went out at half time and started mouthing off to the WH supporters. The Crew guys got beat up. Another Crew supporter yelled out that the WH supporters were pussies because they way out-numbered the guys who got beat up. This caused the small group of WH supporters to go to the Crew supporters section where the WH guys knew they'd be out-numbered and said "Still think we're pussies?" and a guy threw his beer and the others charged in.
Terrible security at the stadium, stupid behaviour by Crew fans....
Yet another reason I don't want to goto that shithole again.
LOL Crew
The Crew supporters are very original, check out there new song...............

the West Ham fans who started it were probably only West Ham fans because of GSH
I love stirring the pot on bigsoccer.
Theyre all so protective and scared. Its adorable, but also very sad.
it looks like for the next games they will play with no supporter and west ham sould charge the crew. the team sould be kick out of the all star game
We should all wear WHU jerseys to our next road trip to Columbus
